If no club in your area, start an informal local lunch group. Pick a moderate-price restaurant, such as a pizza place.
Ask the
manager when business is slowest -- say
2:00 PM on Tuesdays -- so that you can take over several tables and
converse without shouting. There may be a room you can reserve at no charge. Select a date a couple of weeks away.
Publicize the lunch via your personal email network -- and
post on the appropriate independent HP-related Facebook
groups -- which you can join without disclosing personal
info:
Leading groups.
Repeat every few months. No formal organization required.
The lunch group could evolve into a new, informal club like
the
